1
I was just wondering with the five pillars of Islam, how do you know if you're doing enough to basically fulfill your duty as a Muslim?
2
How does that work?
3
Okay, so in Islam you're told what is enough.
4
Remember we were talking about in the sermon?
5
So you're told the basic necessities and you're told the maximum that you should strive for.
6
So if you're fulfilling the basic necessities, you're doing enough.
7
But if you want, like you're told to, you're motivated to actually aim for the stars you'll get the sun by itself so your aim
8
should be something that's higher so you're given both of them
9
and the best model is in the model of the life of the Prophet himself
10
so if we can amel as close as we are to it the better it will be
11
so it's very easy for us because there's one person in history
12
this is not according to me this is according to the agnostics and the atheists and Forbes magazine as well
13
that the person in history who has been recorded the most is Prophet Muhammad.
14
So for us it's very easy in the sense that we know exactly.
15
For example, if I were to ask you, by the way, as Muslims, we have to respect each and every Prophet, right?
16
So the question is, please don't feel offended by it.
17
I'm just trying to kind of make a point.
18
And if you do, then just stop me.
19
So I'll just backtrack and think of another example.
20
if I were to ask you how did Jesus please you upon him go to the bathroom
21
you know would you be able to tell me exactly what
22
his bowel habits like how he would relieve himself etc. would be
23
he was fully man so I would assume just like everyone else okay so for us for Muslims we are told
24
the Prophet he has told us
25
when you go into the bathroom
26
which foot you should keep in the bathroom first like the amount of detail
27
I'm telling you how you should sit in the bathroom, what is better, how long you should sit in the bathroom,
28
what you should not do in the bathroom, and what you should do in the bathroom.
29
And after you're done, don't just dry clean, you know, use water, stuff like that.
30
So all of that stuff we've been told.
31
And when you come out of the bathroom, which food you should step out with?
32
So for us, it's very easy in the sense that we have a lot of detail about everything in life.
33
And this is just about the bathroom.
34
I can tell you about sleeping, I can tell you about, you know, other stuff as well,
35
about wearing your clothes what kind of clothes they should be
36
which color is better everything
37
but those are not necessities they are they're distinctions you know how you can get to 80 you'll pass it
38
what was the passing percentage i guess it differs from every exam right
39
but let's just say if it's 75 you can get to 75
40
but if you want to get to 90 then it's you know a lot more uh effort
41
and to get above 90 then it's like even more than
42
that so you can strive for whatever you can but the basic necessity.
43
75 % is very clear and even the 95 % is clear.
44
So does that answer the question?
45
Yeah, I guess just my confusion is what about the 75 and the 95 is different?
46
Like what makes you 95 compared to 75?
47
Okay, perfect.
48
So we are told that no one will, I'll start with this and then I'll give you the direct answer,
49
that no one will enter paradise with just their actions it will be from the mercy of Allah
50
so mercy of the creator
51
what does that mean? that means you have to try your best
52
but also understand that your best is still not going to be enough of what
53
Allah the creator deserves from you but you still have to try your best so when a person prays
54
he can try to do his best and you will know, no one else can judge you, but what's your name?
55
Mitchell Mitchell.
56
But Mitchell, in your heart, would you not know, okay, this is the best I could do?
57
You would know that, right?
58
So this is between you and him.
59
So he understands, because he's the one who's given you all of the faculties, the capabilities, the strength, the will.
60
He understands Mitchell is trying to do his best.
61
So you'll be rewarded accordingly.
62
So we can never know which person is better.
63
Therefore in Islam, you can never say this person is better than that person in the eyes of Allah.
64
Okay?
65
Because if he has given you let's just say um
66
if he has given your faculties are on a scale of one to ten they are nine and
67
if he has given me three for me to get to three it's going to take a lot of effort
68
but i will be rewarded according to ten now
69
if you although you you're you can easily achieve five
70
because you're you know your max is nine you can easily achieve five
71
but still if you're just achieving five you're wasting a lot of your talent
72
so with power comes responsibility
73
if he's given you the ability then he you are you know uh supposed to achieve even higher than
74
that so if you achieve nine you'll be awarded 100
75
if you achieve eight you're going to be rewarded a little bit less
76
but i can never tell that that's just between you
77
and god so a person himself will know that i'm trying my best
78
and allah will have mercy enough to actually give me 100 of the reward does
79
that answer the question that makes sense okay
80
So even if you know that you're trying your best, is there any like absolute assurance that you would get salvation?
81
Yes, yes.
82
When a person tries their best, it's not just the, in Islam we believe this, that every action that you do has a repercussion,
83
not just in the hereafter, but also in the world so when you start doing good actions
84
Allah will show you the blessings in your life so for example we are told not to indulge in interest
85
which is you know living in a secular society it's very difficult because everything has interest
86
but once a person actually forsakes
87
profit from interest for the will of Allah for the pleasure of Allah he will start seeing that
88
the other guys who are indulging in interest will not have
89
that much happiness as much as he will have even though his wealth will be less
90
but the things that are given to him will be more than the other people
91
and he'll feel happier
92
so in islam what we are what i'm trying to tell you basically is
93
that once you start trying to do your best once you look for the truth
94
and you start trying you feel inside as well spiritually
95
you're gifted enough for you to feel like okay you know this is working out
96
but will you have absolute confidence
97
that i will be uh i will achieve salvation no
98
and therefore you have to keep trying to do better
99
if for example right now today somebody was somebody came
100
and told me that somehow god communicated to me
101
and he told me that you have been forgiven even
102
if you commit atrocities from today on
103
or whatever you do it doesn't really matter you've been forgiven will
104
that not actually put a damper on my deeds for example in the for example
105
if a teacher came to you right
106
you're taking a very difficult course let's say you're taking tensor calculus the professor came
107
and said what's your what's your sister's name
108
Oh Alyssa Alyssa they said Alyssa you've been really good in the first couple semesters
109
and you know their last semester I'm gonna give you a hundred percent.
110
Tell me Alyssa like honestly are you gonna study as hard as you studied for the first two?
111
Um wait can you ask that again?
112
Yes, a professor came
113
and told you Alyssa since you have done really well in the first semester
114
I'm going to give you a hundred percent marks in the second semester regardless of how you score.
115
Hmm.
116
Will you study for the second semester as hard as the first
117
semester honestly speaking well like if if I knew
118
that I was gonna get a hundred percent mark regardless even
119
if you left the paper blank um yes you would still study as hard oh no that's one thing
120
so therefore in Islam we are told
121
that you can never be sure of achieving salvation because
122
if you actually do something bad later on you will be punished for it in Islam we are not told
123
Muslims yeah we are not given the guarantee of going into heaven.
124
We will enter heaven eventually.
125
This is the guarantee we've been given, that if you believe in the monotheistic nature of God
126
and you testify that there's one God worthy of worship and that you believe in the prophetic lineage,
127
all of them, then you will eventually get to heaven.
128
However, if you live a bad life, you will have to be punished for those bad deeds.
129
Once you are punished enough and you're purified of their bad effects in hell, then you will enter heaven.
130
So just taking the testimony of faith is enough to get you into heaven but that's going to be your final abode.
131
You will have to go through hell if you don't live a good life.
132
So therefore you have to keep trying to do better and better.
133
So Islam actually asks you to do better every day and achieve the best you can.
134
So if Alyssa has been given, like I said with Mitchell, if your capability is 9,
135
then Islam wants you to actually achieve that potential and not just settle for 5.
136
Does that make sense?
137
Yes.
138
Okay.
139
Maybe...

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
